In this instance, it\u2019s not just any player. It\u2019s one of the very best in the NFL. Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby. In his story, there are multiple references to Crosby missing the Bay Area. Here\u2019s one:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you watch another one of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stories\/maxxcrosby\/3834557969707563474\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stories<\/a> that was uploaded early Tuesday morning, it\u2019s a song called \u201cOakland Pt. 2\u201d by an artist named Karri. The lyrics talk about how he misses Oakland and wants to move back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Of course, this could be a big old nothing burger and a person reminiscing about a happy period in their life at 6 in the morning. But it\u2019s the offseason, and we do not operate in that manner. The only logical conclusion is that Crosby wants to move back to the Bay Area, and since the San Francisco 49ers are the only team, Crosby will be a Niner. That\u2019s how this works, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He\u2019s certainly the type of player you trade for. The 49ers averaged a league low of 1.2 sacks per game. Crosby had half as many sacks (10) as the 49ers (20) did in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Las Vegas needs a quarterback. Klint Kubiak just won a Super Bowl with Sam Darnold. Perhaps he\u2019d be interested in Mac Jones. That would soften the blow from a draft capital perspective. Theoretically, Jones might mean you only need to include a second-round pick or something that equates to that, as opposed to a first-rounder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Crosby has a lot of wear-and-tear, will be 29 by the start of the season, so there might be some buyer beware. He has not played a full season during the previous two years. Crosby missed two games last season and only played 12 games in 2024. Still, despite missing a couple of games last season, he was still a menace and among the best of the best.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the offseason, where we talk about what a player posts on their social media.
